Summary
The documentation consistently presents Windows-centric tools and patterns first, such as PowerShell and Visual Studio Code, and provides detailed PowerShell examples before their Azure CLI equivalents. Visual Studio Code is recommended as the primary editor, which is more common on Windows. There is no mention of Linux-specific editors or shell environments (e.g., native Bash, Vim, nano), nor any guidance for Linux users beyond suggesting 'Git Bash' for CLI usage. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows conventions and tools, potentially making it less accessible for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or present Azure CLI first in some sections to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Explicitly mention Linux and macOS compatibility for all steps, including editor and shell choices.
  • Recommend or reference Linux-native editors (e.g., Vim, nano, gedit) and terminal environments alongside Visual Studio Code.
  • Provide instructions for running Azure CLI commands in native Bash shells on Linux and macOS, not just Git Bash.
  • Include troubleshooting notes or environment setup tips specific to Linux (e.g., file permissions, path separators, package installation).
  • Clarify that both PowerShell and Azure CLI are cross-platform and provide installation links for Linux and macOS.
  • Add a note or section highlighting differences or considerations for Linux users, especially for steps that may behave differently on non-Windows systems.
